Calling Kenya — Things to Know

• WhatsApp is the dominant messaging app in Kenya. Most Kenyans with smartphones use WhatsApp for daily communication. However, WhatsApp calls require good data connectivity, which can be unreliable outside major cities.
• Safaricom is by far the largest carrier (over 60% market share), followed by Airtel Kenya and Telkom Kenya. Most mobile numbers you'll call will be on Safaricom.
• M-Pesa (mobile money by Safaricom) is used by nearly everyone in Kenya, but it's a payment platform — not a calling service. People with M-Pesa still receive phone calls on their regular Safaricom number.
• Kenya does not observe daylight saving time. The country is in the same time zone as Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda (EAT, UTC+3).
• Data connectivity in rural Kenya has improved significantly with 4G expansion, but voice calls through phone networks remain more reliable for reaching people in remote areas.
• Christmas, Easter, and Madaraka Day (June 1) are peak calling times. Lines can be busy during these holidays.
• BubblyPhone calls reach any Kenyan phone number — Safaricom, Airtel, or Telkom — mobile or landline.
